Lions waived OT Johnny Culbreath.

Another of the Lions' offseason arrestees falls by the wayside. Last year's seventh-rounder, Culbreath was arrested in January for possession of marijuana. He missed his entire rookie season with a blood pressure issue. Tue, Jul 24, 2012 04:01:00 PM

MLive.com believes Lions OTs Johnny Culbreath, Corey Hilliard and Jason Fox could be competing for just one roster spot.

If that's the case, Hilliard has a huge edge after appearing in all 32 games the past two seasons and making five starts. A seventh-round pick last season, Culbreath missed his entire rookie year with a blood pressure issue before getting arrested for marijuana possession in January. A fourth-round pick in 2010, Fox has appeared in just four career games due to injury. He missed June's minicamp with knee soreness. Culbreath still has practice squad eligibility.

Lions OT Johnny Culbreath was arrested in Orangeburg County, South Carolina on Monday for possession of marijuana.

Culbreath was ratted out by the clerk at the hotel in which he was staying. Police arrived to find a strong marijuana odor and two blunts placed in the drawer of a table in the hallway. Detroit's seventh-round pick last year, Culbreath spent the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed illness. Wed, Jan 25, 2012 11:13:00 AM

The seventh-round pick fell ill at practice on Monday, but the Lions haven't revealed the specifics of what's wrong with him. Culbreath, who measures 6-foot-6, 322 pounds, is capable of running a 4.92 forty, and should be given a legitimate chance to make the team next summer. Sat, Sep 3, 2011 10:52:00 PM

Depth Charts

Bell had minor clean-up surgeries on his knee and Achilles' following the season. He likely won't be 100 percent, but plans to participate in the Lions' offseason program. Bell missed just one game last year despite multiple injuries. He's signed through 2016 and should return as Detroit's lead back.

Lions TE Joseph Fauria will wait one more week before deciding whether to have ankle surgery.

Fauria originally injured his ankle in September while trying to stop his puppy from urinating in his home. He never recovered. Fauria appeared in just seven games for the Lions, catching six passes for 74 yard with one touchdown. If healthy, he'll compete for the No. 3 tight end job in 2015 behind Eric Ebron and Brandon Pettigrew.
